| The magnetic contribution to the specific heat of the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with spin-one is studied by the cluster variational method in pair approximation. The nearest neighbour correlation functions are taken into account. The temperature dependencies of the specific heat are calculated and discussed in the context of the phase diagrams obtained recently for the thin film with bilayer geometry. |
